I think this is accurate. I also think that he considers himself pretty moderate and holds up Obergefell as proof. I think he views his legacy of rulings as mostly narrow and responsible, without acknowledging that the nature of these cases are extreme (Shelby C vs Holder, Citizens U, etc)

Worth noting this shift came after his secretary of agriculture begged him to stop ICE raids in rural areas and red states.

This is in reaction to the lobbying from his secretary of agriculture telling him to stop ice raids in rural areas

Well there’s the price to entry, many players might play across multiple consoles, and then on top of that might be subscribed to the platform specific subscriptions. Even if you’re playing COD of Fortnite those season passes/store transactions add up quickly.

I mean, sure, but him doing it was purely a function of him being rich as fuck, so idk how based it really is.

If I remember rightly, Biden won the South Carolina primary overwhelmingly and that’s what sealed the deal. There was a lot of talk about black women being the base of the party by party elites and then everybody else kind of gave up

I haven’t followed Matt in a long time, but I think people deeply misread his incredibly dry and sardonic humor. Tbf he does often enjoy stating basic facts on public opinion that tends to annoy those of us on the left though.

Jamelle is talking specifically about how the fall of apartheid SA affected the thinking of American racists and it’s influence on the thinking of people like Elon and Peter Thiel.

Sounds like conventional wisdom was mostly correct. Turnout mattered a lot and new voters punished the previous administration (most likely due to COVID), just like incumbent parties across the west.

I never pile on to headline framing, but seriously what the fuck is this?

It’s also just an objectively unintelligent take. Ordinary folks willingness to fight this garbage administration is stronger than people think and the admin is weaker than people realize.

People like y’all turning on the only US politicians who are sympathetic to you is actually wild.

Right? Like props for standing up and grabbing the mic, but let’s not get carried away with Booker here.

Buddy the GOP said they wouldn’t. While there’s a lot Biden could have done as an executive or with the justice dept., yall overestimate congressional dems strength. They couldn’t even do modest voting rights protections. No way they were gonna codify Roe. Also have you met Manchin or Sinema?

After taking another look at this article, it is kind of extraordinary how quickly Fetterman is filling the Joe Manchin vacuum in the Democratic Party.

When he speaks he’s so contradictory and word salad-y that people who support him interpret it however they want and ignore the things they don’t like. And that they may also truly believe that he is on their side.

There’s lots of examples of exactly this too. Alfonso Cuaron never read the book when making Children of Men. Tony Gilroy doesn’t like Star Wars, so he wasn’t bogged down in reverential nerd bullshit like Filoni when he made Andor.

This shit RIGHT HERE is what Dem supporters are angry about. These are the type of things dems CAN do. Don’t vote for R appointees, don’t go to SOTU. Drag out votes and processes. Adopt the tea party “Party of No” playbook from the Obama administration.

When do we start calling it a policy of resegregation?

imo the “evidence” people use tends to be pretty flimsy. A more simple and historically accurate explanation is that conservatives share a governing ideology with strong men and admire their ability to crush dissent and inflict their will on the state without consequences.

The difference being that FDR operated with a political capital basically unrivaled in the modern era. No democrat will have enough congressional support to repair what’s being done. In a few years centrist Dems will buy into GOP propaganda that the cuts were in fact good.

A legacy being stained implies he had an otherwise good legacy. He doesn’t. He was a monster from start to finish.

As someone who graduated in 2011 from a majority nonwhite high school, this is absolutely wild to me. Back then being a racist was a sure fire way to get one’s ass beat

The “net positive” language here is terrible. Positive for businesses and large corporations to boost efficiency. Negative for real people as more services they rely on get replaced by cheaper AI. But, as long as the corporations wins, that’s the only “net” positive that matters

I’m incredibly curious what you think an appropriate term is for American governmental support for decades of Israeli policy aimed at quite literally ethnically cleansing Gaza and the West Banks of Palestinians who’ve been there for generations.

Went to a Green Day concert in like 2017 and Billie Joe kept yelling “Fuck that guy” and we all knew who he was talking about.

Bruh. That is THE time to March - not when it just safe to do so. I think you’re forgetting what the point of marches and protests are

Who was it that once tweeted about the GOPs ability to turn a 55/45 issue into a 70/30 issue extremely quickly?
